Michael Alan Weaver was born on March 20, 1964, in Mason City, Iowa, the son of Alvin and Grace (Staples) Weaver. He was baptized and confirmed at the United Methodist Church in Marathon.

Growing up, he lived in Marathon where he attended school and graduated from Laurens Marathon High School in 1982.

A hard worker, Mike worked at Lind Turkey Farms, Hakes Foods, Furst McNess and as a farmhand. He also owned and operated Weaver Trucking. Mike was a volunteer fireman in Newell and was a member of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Laurens.

In his spare time, Mike took pleasure in helping others. He loved auto racing, camping, and playing cribbage. He enjoyed polishing motorcycles and entering them in contests with Alex, his son.
